The Wisconsin Central Line, although q

TENS of the Northwest has acquired an envi-
able popularity Through careful attention
to details, It's service is as near perfection as
might be looked for. The train attendants
seem to regard their trusts as individual

Witches i'm BOttOmless Boats.

There is story OF one strong swim
mer who, yenturlng near the black and
rotten tlmbers of some haunted wreck,
was caught in whirllng eddy, from
which he escaped by ciutchine one of
the gaunt ragged ribs and clambering
up. But not IA soul of those who wit
messed his position, and were within
hearing OF his vain appeals, dared put
off in a boat to save HIM. When at last,
In sheer despair, he leaped out to clear
the agitated water, he was sucked un-
der and drowned before their eyes.
"Why," they asked, should we sacri-
fee our own lives III a vain attempt to
save one man from drowning?"
1t was common belief that witches
went out to sea in bottomless ships
to feast and carouse with the de-
mons, who gave them power when the
winds blew Iercefy from the east, and
that the more terrible the storm the
faster their progress. Some said that
they assumed the shapes of beautiful
young maidens to tempt the fishermen
to come aboard and share their revel-
nv, but only to leave them In the sink
ing vessel, with shrieks of unholy
laughter and knocking cries.
Specter ships were said to leave be-
hind them, when darkness fell upon
the face of the deep, long tracks of
quivering flame.
Brand tells the following story Of
ghost at sea, that of COOK who died
while on the homeward passage. The
man had one leg shorter than the
other, which made his walk peculiar
and easily recognized. Some days
after the cooks body had been commit
ted to the deep, the mate of the vessel
came to the CAPITA n with pale face
and voice of terror. The cooks
ghost was walking on the sea just be-
fore the ship. The Captain went on
deck, and in the gloom Jaw something
which moved with a jerk and hop,
just as the ok did, when alive, and
determined to know what it was. A
boat was lowered, and. after many OBJ
jections and arguments against a deed
which might give the ghost offense,
manned. Then il was found that the
supposed specter was the broken and
splIntered main-top of wrecked ship,
the peculiar motion of which was due
partly to the waves and partly to its
Icing in loose fragmentary condition,

time quite common thing to see

She Did Her Best.

A girl who was strong and willing to
work was recently engaged by lady
of this city. The strength of the new
domestic was unquestioned and her
willingness was equally apparent. Her
mistress gave her a camel's hair sack to
brush She took the garment and was
gone long time with it, and when she
returned she was questioned about the
delay. She answered: IL niver saw

Next TO impossible.

Bishop Potter is credited with the
following joke: A young clergyman,
not far from Harlem, being on the eve
of marriage, and not wishing to trouble
any of his clerical brethren, wrote to
the bishop, inquiring if, as he had al
ready published the banns from his own
pulpit, he could marry himself. The
bishop at once capped the query with
another: "Could you bury YOURSELF"

Alum in Water.

A professor claims to have discov-
cred that grain of alum in gallon
of water will reduce the colonies of
bacteria--if the water is sufficiently in
fested-from 800 to about 50, and
that the remaining bacteria will be the
large ones, and can be easily taken out
by filtering. The required amount of
alum, he says, is too small to be de-
tected by taste, and is not harmful to
health.

than attend the parade, in furnishing the

appointed to procure suitable ribbon

A Strange Accident.

n strange Accfdents
On Monday afternoon, an accident of a
very unusual character, and with very UNI
fortunate results, occurred at the photo
graph gallery of Mr.. f. z. Fritz, on
Union street, in this city. Ayoung man.
named Luther L. Thomas, about twenty
years old, was engaged in washing out
some bottles. In doing so, he applied the
hydrant to the mouth of one, when il
barst and the neck of the bottle flew into
his face, striking his right eye and badly
cutting his face. DIR. Romine attended
to his case, and recommended his removal
to a city hospital Mr.. Fritz took him
to Philadelphia ON the @ p. M. train and
placed him in the Wills Eye Hospital,
where he will have the best Of attention.
Mr. f. says that the Surgeon in charge
decided after an examination that the eye
had been destroyed, and that its removal
would probably be necessary in order tc
save the other eye.
Mr.. Thomas had only been in Mr.
Fritz's employ for nine days. His home
is at York, Pa.
